&#8220Coent and illuminating...Without sentimentality, this
book captures the pulse of the farm and the deep gratification
it provides, as well as the intrinsic humor of the
situation.&#8221#8212Janet Maslin, New York TimesA
beautiful deluxe trade paperback edition celebrating the 10th
anniversary of Barbara Kingsolver's New York Times
bestseller, which describes her family's adventure as they
move to a farm in southern Appalachia and realign their lives
with the local food chain.Since its publication in 2007, Animal,
Vegetable, Miracle has captivated readers with its blend of
memoir and journalistic investigation. Newly updated with
original pieces from the entire Kingsolver clan, this
commemorative volume explores how the family's original
project has been carried forward through the years.When

Barbara Kingsolver and her family moved from suburban
Arizona to rural Appalachia, they took on a new challenge: to
spend a year on a locally-produced diet, paying close attention
to the provenance of all they consume. Concerned about the
environmental, social, and physical costs of American food
culture, they hoped to recover what Barbara considers our
nation's lost appreciation for farms and the natural processes
of food production. Since 2007, their scheme has evolved
enormously. In this new edition, featuring an afterword
composed by the entire Kingsolver family, Barbara's husband,
Steven, discusses how the project grew into a farm-to-table
restaurant and community development project training young
farmers in their area to move into sustainable food production.
Camille writes about her decision to move back to a rural area
after college, and how she and her husband incorporate their
food values in their lives as they begin their new family. Lily,
Barbara's youngest daughter, writes about how growing up on
a farm, in touch with natural processes and food chains, has
shaped her life as a future environmental scientist. And
Barbara writes about their sheep, and how they grew into her
second vocation as a fiber artist, and reports on the enormous
response they've received from other home-growers and localfood
devotees.With Americans' ever-growing concern over an
agricultural establishment that negatively affects our health
and environment, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is a modern
classic that will endure for years to come.
